(1) "Come on! Come on! There are three circles for one dollar, whichever one you win is yours!" A stall owner shouted at the top of his lungs. There were only three layers of people on the inside and three on the outside. They were so tightly packed that I used all my strength. Often used in situations where it takes a lot of effort to accomplish something. ] then got in. Wow! The floor was lined with dazzling ornaments and toys. The first row turned out to be crystal ornaments, shining with blurred light spots in the sun; the second row displayed racing cars, the paint on the car body shining with dazzling light; the third row was filled with plush "dolls" "...I can't help but buy three laps to try my luck. You must know that the second row of cars sells for more than 200 yuan on the market. If I get caught here, doesn't it belong to me?"
So, I took out the dollar I saved from my pocket and couldn’t wait [Note: Near: Urgent. Too urgent to wait. Describes an anxious mood. ] The land was given to the stall owner, and he took three traps and set them up. I gently picked up the first ring and threw it hard. The ring was about to catch me, but somehow, it bounced on the ground a few times and then flew up and rolled to the side.
I grabbed the second circle, took a little aim and threw it lightly, but this time I threw it too far, missing the remote control car by "a hundred and eighty thousand miles" [Note: describing a very far distance] Far away.]" I held the last ring in my hand and prayed silently: "Oh God! Just let me hit the car!" I stepped forward and shook the ring in my right hand, and finally found it. position, and finally threw it, the circle drew a beautiful arc in the sky. Finally, it was put on the antenna of a remote-controlled car, and it kept turning and turning, silently saying in my heart: "Don't fall off!" After a long time, the circle finally stopped, stopping at the antenna. superior. I strode happily [Note: to describe taking long strides and walking fast. ] walked over, picked up the car, and prepared to leave. Suddenly the stall owner came over, grabbed me by the collar, and turned me 360 ??degrees. I felt dizzy all of a sudden. I vaguely saw the stall owner's elongated face and said: "Who said you Can you take it away?" I pointed to the loop on the antenna and said, "Didn't I already hook it up?" Give you the antenna?" the stall owner said with a livid face.
I suddenly felt my face getting hot and said angrily: "How could you go back on your word? What are the consequences? Now it means that people's words and deeds are inconsistent and contradictory. Isn't this a lie?" But the stall owner was blinded...
Such people are so dishonest! This incident hurt me deeply
(2) There was a young man who worked as a clerk in a grocery store in a small town. One day, a woman bought two kilograms of tea in the store. He found that one or two tea leaves were missing from the weighing, so he walked several kilometers on a snowy night to deliver the tea leaves to the woman's home.
This young man was President Abraham Lincoln who later made outstanding contributions to the unification of the motherland and the liberation of black slaves.
Honesty means that in the process of doing things, you can handle things according to the original situation of the matter, rather than your own assumptions due to one or other reasons, and find the best way to solve the matter. Honesty is the foundation of a person's conduct in life and the cornerstone of a person's standing in society.
However, I don’t know since when, honesty began to be indifferent to people. More and more people began to tend to be utilitarian and realistic, and regarded honesty as pedantry, and even moved towards honesty. The opposite of - hypocrisy.
This kind of people seem to be very smart on the surface - they are always able to take advantage of many small advantages, many small benefits, and even gain the respect of people who do not know the truth. But, in fact, they are all fools!
This reason is very simple, because everyone has an instinct to pursue personal security and hopes that the people living around him will be friendly to him, or that knowledge will not be hostile to him. If there is always a person around him who is hypocritical and likes to take advantage of others, then he must be insecure, and as a result, he will alienate people he thinks are hypocritical.
If one person is like this, others will be like this. From this point on, people who are hypocritical will lose everyone's trust - this is actually a person's most precious asset. Without it, this person's life path will definitely become narrower and narrower.
In career, first of all, what you need to learn is not technology but life.
“Dishonesty is a common shortcoming of many college students.” John Walker, business assistant at the Indonesian headquarters of Baoxin Company, once pointed out that some college students in the world, especially highly educated students in many developing countries, have The phenomenon of over-investing and writing fake recommendation letters is very serious. When he visited the National University of Indonesia, he found that the recommendation letters were almost the same and everyone's grades were extremely good. In addition, when many students contact foreign universities to study abroad, they agree to study for a Ph.D. After arriving abroad, they find that jobs are easy to find, and they feel that making money is more important. After completing their master's degree, they join the business world. This has caused many foreign universities to begin to focus on developing countries. of international students said “no”. What is the result of this is that we ruin our own opportunities.
Some researchers have also criticized the overall quality of part-time students in the United States. Some part-time students are greedy for petty advantages - using the company's computer to play games and giving the company's public stationery to their girlfriends. Originally, all the phones in Procter & Gamble's Indonesia branch could make long-distance calls. Later, it was discovered that some employees made long-distance calls in the middle of the night and even made international long-distance calls to chat with friends. They proudly said: "It's free." Walker said: "Later, I had no choice but to make long-distance calls. We had to cut off all long-distance calls except those in the individual offices, because no one in Indonesia would listen to you."
Two other researchers spoke harshly. Pointed out: "The first thing many highly educated students need to learn is not technology, but life!" They believe that no matter what they do, they must first "be an upright person and consider the feelings of others and not just think about themselves."
It is not difficult to see from the above examples that honesty is being lost bit by bit. The core reason is that people think that honesty will lead to losses.
But as I have said before, everyone has an instinct to pursue personal security and hopes that the people living around him will be friendly to him, or at least not hostile to him. in the atmosphere. Knowing this, which one is more cost-effective, honesty or hypocrisy? It's self-explanatory.
Honest people will always "suffer losses", but they will not suffer losses in the end. He is said to "suffer" because he cannot take advantage of many small advantages; he is said not to suffer because he has gained everyone's trust. This trust is a shortcut to success.
Whether they are celebrities at home or abroad in ancient and modern times, everyone has a goal of their own. Everyone follows such a goal and can ultimately achieve it, which is inseparable from honesty. If not, could they have succeeded? Soong Ching Ling promised to visit the children in the kindergarten, but it rained heavily that day. Others told her not to go. The teachers in the kindergarten also thought she would not go, but she was determined to go. She said: "If I don't go, these children will be unhappy. This is the principle of my life..."
There is an old saying in China: "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to chase it back." It means people like Soong Ching Ling One glance at Goethe, an honest and trustworthy person.
How should we make ourselves an honest person in our daily life? I think we should be honest with ourselves. Shakespeare once said: "Be loyal to yourself and you will not deceive others." If a person loses loyalty to himself, then he cannot become an honest person. Because a person who always deceives himself on various issues will inevitably affect his psychology in doing other things. Eventually it becomes a habit, and by then it will be difficult for the person to become honest. Because lying has entered his consciousness, it is very difficult to eradicate it. To prevent this from happening, you can only remind yourself frequently and face reality with a clear mind. In the words of the great Chinese writer Lu Xun, "You must have the courage to face the bleak life," in order to understand yourself clearly and cultivate your honest character.
In fact, one should have a healthy attitude towards interests. The famous Italian scholar Campanella said in "City of the Sun": "Private ownership is the root of all evils, because it triggers people's greed...".
In fact, in life, pursuing legitimate personal interests, pursuing a reasonable lifestyle, and striving to realize one's own life value are legitimate and reasonable requirements, and should be encouraged. However, since mankind walked out of the Garden of Eden, various disputes and conflicts have emerged in endlessly, all caused by the pursuit of interests. Does this mean that human beings’ pursuit of interests should be negated? Obviously not. The reason for the dispute is that many people fail to maintain a healthy mentality in the process of pursuit.
When we grasp the principle of integrity, the door to success will always be open to you.

If the words are not sincere, it is not enough to move.

Integrity is a basic norm of citizen morality, the soul of a nation’s survival, and the cornerstone of a citizen’s foothold. Integrity is a kind of character, a kind of responsibility, a kind of morality and a kind of criterion. Integrity is a valuable intangible asset, and integrity can create wealth.
Making friends with integrity
Liu Ji told a story in his famous book "Yu Ion": A wealthy businessman hit a rock and capsized when he was crossing a river. He shouted loudly in the water: " Whoever can save me, I will give him 100 taels of gold!" A kind fisherman brought him ashore, but the rich businessman only gave him 80 taels. The fisherman accused the rich businessman of being dishonest, and the businessman scolded the fisherman for being too greedy. The next day, the fisherman crossed the shore by boat, but unfortunately it capsized into the water again. The wealthy businessman still shouted in the water: "Whoever can save me ashore, I will give him 100 taels of gold." The fisherman who had rescued it told the people around him The rich businessman broke his promise and drowned.
A person who is dishonest and does not keep his promises will not only betray his friends at critical moments, but also betray his own beliefs and opinions. It is difficult to make a close friend. You need to sow it with your loyalty, water it with your enthusiasm, cultivate it with your principles, and care for it with your understanding. After all, "Ten thousand taels of gold are easy to get, but a close friend is hard to find." Ah! The ancients said that a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and this statement is very correct. Use your own actions to prove that the best promise is to practice it personally.
(4) The thirty-two volumes of "Historical Records" "The Family of Qi Taigong" record:
(Qi Xianggong) twelve years. At the beginning, Duke Xiang took charge of his father's garrison in Kuiqiu. The melons came and went, and the melons came and went. When he went to garrison for one year, he would die and his father would be his father. Or if you want to be on your behalf, I will give you permission. Therefore, the two were angry and planned to cause chaos because Gongsun was ignorant. ...or he might see a man standing in a room and look at him, he is the Duke of Xiang, so he kills him, but he is ignorant and makes himself the king of Qi.
This period of history records that in the ninth year of King Zhouzhuang during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi united the four vassal states of Song, Lu, Chen, and Cai to attack the State of Wei. After the State of Wei was captured, Duke Qi Xianggong, a prince of Qi State, was worried about King Zhou. He would send troops to attack, so he sent the doctor Lian as the general and Guan Zhifu as the deputy general to lead the soldiers and horses to garrison in the remote place of Kwai Qiu. Before leaving, the two generals asked Duke Xiang of Qi for instructions: "Guarding the border is hard work, but as your ministers I dare not refuse, but we have a time limit to garrison. What time limit does your lord set?" At that time, Duke Xiang of Qi was eating melons. , so he responded smoothly and said: "Now is the time when the melons are ripe. When the melons are ripe again next year, I will send others to replace you."
The two generals then led their troops to station in Kwai Chiu. A year passed before I knew it. Due to the busy military affairs, the two generals gradually forgot the agreement they made with Qi Xianggong before leaving. Suddenly one day, his soldiers offered freshly ripe melons to the two generals for them to try. Only then did the two generals remember their old promise with their lord, and they felt homesick. I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: "It's time to change defenses at this time, why hasn't the lord sent someone to replace us?" So he sent his confidants to the capital to inquire about the situation, and learned that the lord and his half-sister Wen Jiangzheng They are together in pursuit of pleasure and have no regard for government affairs. The two generals were very angry: "You enjoy all the wealth and splendor in the world, and are arrogant and licentious in the country. You let us suffer hardships and hardships on the border and protect your safety with our lives, but you never thought of sending someone to replace us!" So they sent someone to offer sacrifices to Duke Xiang of Qi. A newly ripe melon. I hope that when the lord sees this ripe melon, he will remember the agreement they made before leaving, and ask for someone to be sent to guard the border instead of them. When Qi Xianggong saw the melons, he was furious and said: "It is my idea whether to replace you or not. It should be me who has the final say. Why do you have to ask for it? I can only send someone to replace you when the melons are ripe again next year!"
After hearing the report, the two generals were so angry that they gritted their teeth and immediately plotted a rebellion.
Then he secretly joined forces with Gongsun Wuzhi, killed Duke Xiang of Qi, and made Gongsun Wuzhi the new king.
A generation of monarchs just because they were dishonest, broke their promises, made people angry, and ruined their fortunes and lives. It is so hateful and tragic!
